Anne Lamott
I naturally prefer the company of people who hold grudges, as long as they are not held against me.
Anne Lamott
You want to protect your child from pain, and what you get instead is life, and grace and though theologians insist that grace is freely given, the truth is that sometimes you pay for it through the nose. And you can't pay your child's way.
Anne Lamott
Clutter and mess show us that life is being lived.
Anne Lamott
Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor the enemy of the people. It will keep you insane your whole life.
Anne Lamott
We are not here to see through one another, but to see one another through.
Anne Lamott
I was reminded of the Four Immutable Laws of the Spirit: Whoever is present are the right people. Whenever it begins is the right time. Whatever happens is the only thing that could have happened. And when it's over, it's over.
Anne Lamott
My main problem is that over and over again, I try to get all my characters to say stuff that I think is so witty or erudite you know, so that everybody will go.
Anne Lamott
I do believe that God is with us even when we're at our craziest and that this goodness guides, provides, and protects.
